Participate in EarthCube governance

The Arizona Geological Survey has been running the NSF EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance project for the past year, gauging community requirements for cyberinfrastructure in the geosciences. We now have a community-driven plan and design that we are sharing publicly. Participation in EarthCube is open and we'll describe opportunities to be involved.

The purpose of these webinars is to discuss priorities, expectations, and next
steps for all of those interested in participating in EarthCube Demonstration
Governance standing committees and teams.These groups, the Technology/Architecture Standing
Committee, Science Standing Committee, Engagement Team, and Liaison Team, will be
responsible for carrying out specific critical functions for EarthCube and
EarthCube Governance. Therefore, the EarthCube community will be
empowered to decide how they will accomplish these functions by
defining decision-making processes and leadership roles.

We encourage all
members of the EarthCube community who have already expressed interest,
have an interest, or just want to learn more about how to participate in these
groups to join us. As
always, these sessions are open to all.
